The underworld is about life and death, and business is about making money. Infernal Affairs III Ultimate Infinity
[Chen Daoming of "Infernal Affairs 3: The Ultimate Infinity" has played the emperor again, and his younger brother has also played the emperor]
On December 12, 2003, there was no Double 12 at that time, it was just an ordinary Friday, and a star-studded Hong Kong movie was released. "Infernal Affairs 3: The Ultimate Infinity" brings together the six film emperors of Leung Chao-wai, Andy Lau, Tsang Chi-wai, Huang Qiusheng, Li Ming and Chen Daoming, plus a future film emperor, Lin Jiadong, to form the most luxurious lineup in the lowest period of Hong Kong cinema.
Released in Hong Kong on December 12, 2002, "Infernal Affairs" not only succeeded at the box office and awards, but also boosted the confidence of the entire sluggish Hong Kong film industry and was a real rescue work.
Because of its excellent box office results, I immediately made a prequel "Infernal II" and a sequel "Infernal Iii Ultimate Infinity". Just as the prequel and sequel came out, times changed.
On 29 June 2003, the Mainland and Hong Kong signed the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement, which allows Hong Kong films to be no longer subject to the restrictions on the amount of films to be imported, and can now enter the mainland market in the form of co-productions, ushering in a new era.
Therefore, the next two "Infernal Affairs" have joined the mainland film production and distribution company; "Infernal Affairs II" has mainland actor Hu Jun participating, and "Infernal Affairs III Ultimate Infinity" has mainland film emperors Chen Daoming and Huang Zhizhong joining.
In "Infernal Affairs III Ultimate Infinity", the most dazzling mainland actor is of course Chen Daoming, who has already won domestic TV and film awards such as Feitian, Golden Eagle and Golden Rooster, Huabiao, etc.; in December 2002, he won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor with "Kangxi Dynasty", and in June 2003, he won the Top Ten Actors of Chinese Television with "Han Tianzi".
When Chen Daoming's imperial temperament was the heaviest, he played a domineering mainland big brother Shen Cheng in "Infernal Affairs III Ultimate Infinity", and finally he was also an undercover agent, and he was also a key figure in exposing the truth.
At that time, in "Infernal Affairs III Ultimate Infinity", there was a supporting role that was also very eye-catching, that is, Shen Liang, who was played by Liang Chaowei, who shot his head with an ashtray, and his actor was named Huang Zhizhong. [His line of "powerful people" is still impressive.] 】
Huang Zhizhong was recommended by Chen Daoming to play this role, and this is only the fourth film in the 7 years since Huang Zhizhong's debut. At this time, Huang Zhizhong is Chen Daoming's younger brother, just like the role in the movie. In the movie, Chen Daoming also exploded Liang Chaowei's head with a wine bottle, which is considered to be revenge for his little brother; in addition to the movie, Chen Daoming also opened up broader film and television resources for Huang Zhizhong.
Chen Daoming and Huang Zhizhong are indeed a kind of relationship between teachers and friends, they are the brothers of Chinese opera, Chen Daoming found that Huang Zhizhong has a lot of similar life experiences to himself, so he especially appreciates him, and often takes him to participate in various film and television works.
Later, Huang Zhizhong participated in the acting reality show "First Grade" and invited Chen Daoming to be a special tutor, so that the audience could see Chen Daoming's appreciation and support for Huang Zhizhong, and also saw Huang Zhizhong's respect and courtesy to Chen Daoming.
Huang Zhizhong said: "Teacher Chen Daoming is also my teacher, and he is the teacher who has given me very important help on my growth path. That's the rule, that's the reason, it's the way it should be. ”。
Just like Andy Lau, Lin Jiadong has gradually become a film emperor; in recent years, Chen Daoming has also brought Huang Zhizhong into a wide-ranging emperor. In 2010, Huang Zhizhong won the Best Actor Award at the 16th Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Award and the Outstanding Actor Award at the 28th China TV Drama Feitian Awards for "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes".
Chen Daoming played the emperor in his famous work "The Last Emperor", and later played the role of emperor in many TV series such as "Kangxi Dynasty", "Jiangshan Wind and Rain", "Legend of Chu Han", "Lying Salary and Tasting Courage" and so on. Now, Chen Daoming has finally brought Huang Zhizhong, a tough on-screen gangster for many years, into the "emperor".
In "Crane and Huating", Xiao Jian, the emperor of Southern Qi played by Huang Zhizhong, does have some of Chen Daoming's wind bones, and indeed has the true biography of the master.
"Crane And Hua Ting" and "Qing Yu Nian" are both costume power plot dramas adapted from online novels, and the original works may be very different, but both dramas have been filmed into imitation Song dramas with the style of the Song Dynasty as the skeleton.
The cast of the two dramas is the same structure: young idols starring, a bunch of old acting school dramas are pressed. The eldest brother Chen Daoming and the younger brother Huang Zhizhong in "Infernal Affairs III" have now become the bones of the old drama, and at the same time play the role of emperor who has the greatest impact on the direction of the plot.
In addition, "Crane And Hua Ting" and "Qing Yu Nian" were launched almost at the same time, and also realized the positive acting competition between Huang Zhizhong and Chen Daoming in different time and space.
In "Crane And Hua Ting", the male protagonist is Prince Xianjun, played by Luo Jin, but from time to time he is suppressed by emperor LaoZi, played by Huang Zhizhong. The emperor played by Huang Zhizhong, as soon as he appeared on the scene, he drank tea in the warm and quiet harem, read books and studied chess, which seemed to be light and breezy, but in fact, there was an undercurrent. He had to worry about his throne all the time, the prince was too good, so he supported the king of Qi to balance the power of the prince; although sooner or later he would have to change his shift, but now he was absolutely reluctant to retreat.
In "Qing Yu Nian", the male protagonist is Fan Xian, played by Zhang Ruoyun, who is the son of the official Waiter Lang, an ancient person with modern ideas and knowledge reserves, but in fact he is the bastard son of the emperor. From the very beginning, the emperor paid close attention to and protected Fan Xian, and gave him a marriage early, but he did not expect that the object of marriage was Lin Wan'er, who fan xian fell in love with at first sight.
Emperor Qing, played by Chen Daoming, was also calm and dashing when he appeared on the collapse, reading a book, listening to his subordinates report intelligence and issuing orders. I have to say that in terms of the temperament of playing the role of the emperor, Chen Daoming is superior; and his role is the ultimate conspiracy. He controls the life and death of all characters and the fate of the country, his throne is more stable, the courtiers, princes and harems cannot threaten his authority, he is the real cloud light and light, and even some fairy wind bones in the shape.
Now the two dramas "Qing Yu Nian" and "Crane Hua Ting" are both popular, "Qing Yu Nian" is obviously more joyful and popular, while the plot of "Crane Cai Hua Ting" is more tragic and solemn and suspenseful. Compared with Chen Daoming, Huang Zhizhong has more scenes in "Crane and Hua Ting", and has more room for performance and play.
That year's "Infernal Affairs III Ultimate Infinity" is of epochal significance to Hong Kong films, and this year's "Qing Yu Nian" and "Crane And Hua Ting" definitely have a profound impact on Chen Daoming and Huang Zhizhong.
